Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a monolayer graphene-based multiplex malaria diagnostic sensor. Specifically, a monolayer graphene-based sensor that is able to simultaneously detect the presence of different Plasmodium species, presence of drug-resistant Plasmodium species, and also the presence of a relevant polymorphism in a subject. The present disclosure also relates to a monolayer graphene-based sensor, method and kit for a rapid diagnosis of malaria using a non-invasive biological sample obtained from a subject, preferably in saliva or urine samples.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a concrete construction element by additive manufacturing, in which superposed mortar layers are successively deposited so as to form two wall surfaces, opposite one another, so as to form a cavity, as well as a plurality of reinforcement elements each extending from one of the wall surfaces toward the cavity, each reinforcement element being in contact with neither the wall surface opposite to that from which it extends, nor with a reinforcement element extending from the opposite wall surface to that from which it extends.

Abstract: A thermal insulation product based on mineral wool, characterized in that the fibers have a micronaire of less than 10 l/min, preferably less than 7 l/min and especially between 3 and 6 l/min, the product including infrared absorbent and/or reflective elements, and in that the product has a thermal conductivity of less than 30 mW/m.K.

Abstract: A method determining heat loss coefficient K of a premises, includes: in unoccupied premises, performing a campaign of measurements of at least one temperature inside the premises Tik at closely-spaced time intervals over at least two successive time periods Dk corresponding to distinct heating powers Ptotk of the premises; determining temperature of outside air Tek at the same closely-spaced times; for each time period Dk, on the basis of evolution Tik(t) of a quantity Tik as a function of time, selecting a time interval ?tk for which the evolution Tik(t) is substantially linear, then determining the slope ?k of the tangent to the evolution Tik(t) over this time interval ?tk, and deducing the value of the heat loss coefficient K of the premises on the basis of the slopes ?k.

Abstract: Process for manufacturing a thermally insulating material comprising the following steps: a) preparing an aqueous mixture of a solid mineral substance in suspension having a specific surface area S of greater than 5 m2/g; b) adding to the mixture at least one pore-forming agent; c) stirring so as to obtain a homogeneous mixture; d) preforming a substrate from the homogeneous mixture; e) optionally drying the substrate at least partially; f) removing, at least partially, the pore-forming agent; and such that said specific surface area S, expressed in m2/g and measured by BET, and the mean particle diameter Dpm of the pore-forming agents, expressed in micrometers and measured by dynamic light scattering, obey the relation: 1/S<Dpm<50/S.

Abstract: An elementary device to generate electric energy including a photovoltaic converter and a thermoelectric converter. The photovoltaic converter includes a stack of layers, resting on a supporting substrate in heat-insulating material, including a first conductive layer as an upper electrode, and a second conductive layer as a lower electrode, the upper and lower electrodes sandwiching a layer in photoactive material between them. The thermoelectric converter includes a third conductive layer acting as a hot junction and a fourth conductive layer acting as a cold junction, the hot and cold junctions sandwiching between them an element in thermoelectric and electrically conductive material. The thermoelectric and electrically conductive element is included in the thickness of the supporting substrate, so that one end is in contact with the hot junction and the other end is in contact with the cold junction.
